The Great Player Gap

[Chained Chaos]

I can certainly understand that, as I've migrated here from less-than-helpful servers, too, but you'll get used to it eventually. People here help because they want to, not because they feel obligated.

EDIT: And the amounts of money at stake whenever I visit a Vend Shop sometimes overwhelms me. It's like I'm thinking I could never get that item x because it costs 1 million Zeny and all I have is at the most 10000.

I understand that, too. I felt similarly, but I think everyone does when they start a new server. The economy is always different, and it seems like it'll take forever to be able to afford anything. Just focus on one character for a while, and once you get into your groove money will become less of an object before you know it. Especially if you're going the Hunter/Sniper route for that Archer. Getting money goes pretty quick for that class.
